Nope. Unfortunately my wife lost both of her parents by the time she was 23, her dad died when she was like 16. Her brother is the only close family she really has. I did call him before I proposed, but I didn't ask, I told. I just said I thought he should know I'm going to propose to his sister in the coming weeks. He appreciated it.

See, I'd be okay if the person I was dating did this. "Hey, heads' up, I'm planning on asking your family member to marry me." Of course, you do have to depend on the family member to keep their mouth shut though.
